Pentagon enforces testosterone testing on troops

The U.S. Department of Defense, the Pentagon, has issued new guidelines requiring testosterone tests for military personnel over the age of 30, aimed at early detection of hormonal disorders and enhancing physical performance and military readiness. This comes as part of a plan announced by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, intended to support the troops' endurance, despite ongoing debate about the scientific evidence supporting the widespread implementation of these tests. The procedures include mandatory blood tests for men over 30, while tests for women are considered optional, focusing on symptoms such as fatigue and menstrual disturbances. Experts believe that expanding the tests could lead to unnecessary diagnoses and inappropriate treatments.
